I can understand capitalizing in a capitalism, but I don't know enough to really comment. And I believe my post was off-topic, along with uninformed.

Speaking of libraries. Making one of your own is not so stupid, is it? http://www.tldp.org/ has a lot of reading material related to linux (obviously..:o) ) This one could also be worth reading ( corebook introduction to TinyCore ) especially if you want to recycle your GPU troubled computer when y...

Dongle, this is some great information that I find particularly useful. Thank you.

Puppy is fast because their is no Bill Gates making computers for idiots like me. Billy G is constantly making money off of user-friendly software resource hogs. I can only speculate that his manufacturing friends pay him off for the constant need to upgrade hardware. I know nothing, but this is how...

Yes. I am trying to run the Easy Tether app on my phone and the Easy Tether software on my Puppy Precise Retro 5.7.1 so that I can tether my 3G LG, which doesn't exactly promote tethering. It has worked for me on Windows, so I know it will work on the phone end of things. I haven't downloaded the de...

If you find yourself needing more, here's your file >> devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs

I already downloaded Barry's distro package from ibiblio. Now I am going to click, tickle, and kiss Mike's package. And thanks for the url.

Tried moving to my-applications. Still can't find 'python' .

Just saw your posts and am in route to library. Thanks Mike.

Will soon figure it out along with how to mark this thread SOLVED. ...I hope

Hi, Trichechus.

By the way, I am a newbie, so if this doesn't help, no harm intended. Enjoy Puppy. I have been loving learning a little about UNIX.

I think I am so techtarded that I am colorblind. ;) EDIT: Not quite colorblind. Am having real issues.: http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/BottleUpTheDay/Mobile%20Uploads/1124140846_20141124085025454_resized-1.jpg Do I have to mv my Tether folder to wherever 'python' is? I am in way over my h...

I found this on Google and this is how I got my phone recognized: USB The first thing to do is check and make sure that your *nix box is recognizing your phone via USB. To start off, with the phone unplugged from the box, open up a terminal and run: dmesg You should get something about USB being dis...

http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/BottleUpTheDay/Mobile%20Uploads/1123142236.jpg So, I tried to run my Tether application, which is supposed to compile node.js on first run. When I tried to ./configure the 'python' directory could not be found. I tried researching to no avail. Is this appli...

The more I learn about UNIX, the more I want to remember. I only know pwd, cd, ls, mv, rmdir, mkdir, dmesg conf, and exit. I am on chapter 2 of the UNIX book. Managing files isn't too bad, and God willing, I'd like to write script. Oh, and I use control + L . It's easier than clear. :) UNIX is so mu...

Einstein didn't even know his own address. True Story.

Thanks Mike! Speakers are a necessity for me. And at that price.... SOLD!

If only I could figure out the volume controls! Or how to configure my possibility broken speakers I acquired... Then, it might be more than love. I don't have a CD player, so I will be researching these things as the relationship progresses. :) The stock laptop speakers on this Presario can suck my...

I spent my Saturday learning more UNIX and playing. I am frozen in puppy love.

I'm not homeless, but I've called shelters to check availability. By the grace of God, I have a home. It really is where the heart is. Glad to hear those long cold days got warmer.

If it's not still at the library, you can get it in PDF form here: Linux in 24 Hours I agree libraries are great. When I was walking (for months) I stopped at libraries almost daily and could pretty much always use a computer and the internet free. A great help. Thanks cimarron. I can read that in ...

I am getting Linux in 24 Hours through the library transfer system. It's waiting at the library for me. Have been away, but hopefully they still have it on hold for me. It's an oldie but a goodie, so I have heard. I like books because all the info is organized and in one easy to follow format. I'm o...

That's a great suggestion. I didn't even know otg cables existed! Unfortunately, even if my LG Optimus Fuel was rooted, it still wouldn't transfer files through the otg cable according to a Google search. It is only a 30 dollar phone and you get what you pay for, except in the case that you use a fr...
